Planetarium: Sunstruck

Our Sun produces the energy that makes life on Earth possible. How does it do this? What is the Sun made of and how does it affect the Earth in other ways? Solar storms are a threat to our very existence, and the eventual death of the Sun will mean the end of our planet. How is this similar to the lives and deaths of stars throughout our galaxy?
